THE PEOPLES SHOW.

Yesterday WAS perfect as we'll as .
great dav. aud was farmers day at the
Fair. The stalwart yeOmaury with their
wives, sons ami daughters, seemed to have
deserted the country for miles around,
and concentrated their forces on the
Island. II is said that 10000 people
entered the gates, the largest number ever
known to assemble on the Fair Grounds,
aud everybody was ''tickled' beyond meas
ure over the tine show that WAS presented.
Visitors from Pittsburg were heard to
remark that they never saw at any of their
home expOSitiOns 80 many people together
nor better exhibit. and then there were
the races They were hotly contested and
unusually exciting, the opinion being
quite general that there never had been
better on the track. But the management
has very skilltully arranged even more
attractive races for to-day, 50 that we ex-
pe,t to see nearly as great a conoourse of
people. The last day bids fair to
be the most interesting Of the series,
for in addition to the races there
will be the cattle and horse cayalcade at
high noon, preceded by the band and mar
shals Of the day. Everyone should by all
means attend. Ii is the last chance for
whole year, and the citizen who can say he
did not see the sights OF the Fair will feel
worse than the vet who lost the golden op-
pOrtunity Of marching under the great his
tOric Presidential banner.

were about the most exciting ever seen in
this city, exceeding in general interest,
although there was suspicion of crooked

There had been three races advertised to
come of, but owing to the extreme and
unusual length of the 2:29 and 2:40 con-
tests, the running race was necessarily
postponed until to-day. The judges for
the day were Captain Anderson, n. B.

as starter, and Robert Anderson as time
keeper. The attendance at the track was
silply immense, there being more people
